I was doing aerobics at the gym last week when I noticed my right knee feeling weird. I stopped exercising and later in the evening my knee kept feeling more strained. I still haven't been back to the gym and just figured I pulled a muscle. It's been a week now and my knee still feels the same way. It's sore and feels like a torn muscle. A couple of days ago I first noticed there is a place in my upper right buttock that is extremely sore. Are the two places related to the same injury perhaps? The pain on my knee is on the top inside left side of my knee. Pain only hits me with certain movements. What is this? and how can I get better and get back in the gym?

I've had lower back pain (muscle) for about a month now. I've paid for 3 office visits in that amount of time and the only real relief I've gotten was from taking Tramadol. The doctor gave me a one-time prescription of that, but when I was finished said she'd like me to see another dr. So I did that and that dr. gave me some exercises to do and some samples of Skelaxin. I have to say that I didn't notice the Skelaxin doing anything for my pain, but the exercises seemed to help a little and I began to think my back was just about back to normal. However, I went snowmobiling this last weekend and I think I must've pulled that muscle again, trying to get my snowmobile unstuck! I've missed some of work already this week because of the pain and discomfort, and CANNOT afford it, so I'd like to ask my dr. for another prescription of Tramadol — BUT I don't want to sound like an addict or anything! How should I go about doing this? I don't know how assertive I can/should be.

About 4 months ago I hurt my foot playing football. Someone kicked me on my left foot as I went in for a challenge and it hurt! I had a huge lump on it and it was faint purple under the skin. It hurt when I did everyday things like drive or walk. I went to the doctors after about a week, and she told me I had ripped my tendon/pulled a tendon in my foot?

It seemed to heal 85/90% after 3 months, but still does not feel right. I've been playing football on it now for 3 weeks and there is no pain while running. But someone kicked me on it again and it hurt. The lump, although gone down has now come back and if I twist my foot it hurts. I thought I'd damaged a bone or something... But, it's getting very frustrating now. What could be the problem with it healing?

My doctor refused to give me a complete physical examination. I asked about having it regularly, every three years or so, as is recommended for people my age, and she wondered why I was so worried about my health. She told me that if everyone was like me, they’d constantly be doing physical examinations. She also mentioned what vast amounts of money would be spent just for these physicals. She also said that they do not practice giving complete physicals just for preventive reasons. She said that I don’t need a physical examination unless at a time when I turn 50 years of age (which would mean my next physical will be in 27 years), or when I’m signing up for college, when I’m recruited, etc. What she did say, is to come to her regularly so that she would measure my blood pressure, listen to my lungs, and have my blood tested. Should I be looking for another doctor, or perhaps move my insurance elsewhere (in whatever degree this is possible in our health "care" system in Croatia)?

I was bitten by an insect about a year ago near my right elbow, and a hard bump still resides where the would was. About 3 hours after I was bitten, pain in my hand set in and moved up my arm. I had not noticed the bite at this point and the pain moved up to my shoulder. It stopped there and has left a lump about 1/2". I noticed a dead small brown spider near my bed right where my elbow lies. This took place in an old apartment in Seattle. Does anyone know of any possible culprits? Thanks
